Question

A store receives a shipment of VCRs and CD players. A shipment of 5 VCRs and 4 CD players cost $1950. A shipment of 3 VCRs and 6 CD players cost $2250. find the cost of a VCR and the cost of a CD player

Answer 1

We have to write out a system of equations
2 equations
we have
5 VSRs and 4 CDs is 1950
and
3 VSRs and 6 CDs is 2250

we can write that VSR is x, CD is y

5x+4y=1950
3x+6y=2250

Answer 2

So with this, youcould use desmos and graph and find the intersecting coordinate, and (x,y) would be your answers

Answer 3

This is how I need to set it up with 2 equations for each

Answer 4

Yes and write those equations
5x+4y=1950
3x+6y=2250

Answer 5

Then I just find the answer for both right ?

Answer 6

Yep, just graph it, it's easier that way xd

Answer 7

Okay thanks fo you think you can help me with the second one

Answer 8

Under the first problem in the photo

Answer 9

Can you copy and paste the question, it'll be easier lol

Answer 10

Yess

Answer 11

A basketball team stopped at a fast food restaurant after a game. They divided into two
groups. One group bought 5 chicken sandwiches and 7 hamburgers for a cost of $24.90. The
second group spent $28.80 and bought 5 chicken sandwiches and 9 hamburgers. What is the
cost of each chicken sandwich and each hamburger

Answer 12

Okay, so let's first put
x is chicken sandwiches
y is hamburgers

5 chicken sandwiches and 7 hamburgers for a cost of $24.90.
5x+7y=24.9

$28.80 and bought 5 chicken sandwiches and 9 hamburgers
5x+9y = 28.8

Answer 13

So with these two equations, you can graph them on desmos and find x adn y

Answer 14

Where it says set up that means I put chicken sandwhiches right ?

Answer 15

yea x = chicken sandwiches, y = hamburgers

Answer 16

For 5x+9y=28.80

Answer 17

I got x=25 and y= 45 does that sound right for the answer ?

Answer 18

I used Photomath and that’s what it said was the answer but not sure

Answer 19

Did you put both equations in-?
and are you talking about the first problem or second

Answer 20

for the first

Answer 21

Ohh no I did not I only put the equation for chicken sandwiches

Answer 22

Do u know how I would put the answer do I just put 2.25, 1.95

Answer 23

well, x is something, it's representing something so you would say
something costs 2.25 dollars, something costs 1.95 dollars etc

Answer 24

Ohh okay so I would put x= 2.25 y= 1.95

Answer 25

yea sure

Answer 26

Jason sells two sizes of drinks (small and large). One costs $1.00 and the other costs $1.50. He knows he sold a total of 230 drinks for a total of $285 . How many of each type of drink did he sell?

Answer 27

x is small
y is large

x+y = 230 drinks
x+1.5y = 285 dollars

Answer 28

jack has 5$ and 10$ bills in his wallet . He has 25 bills totaling $230 . How many of each type of bills does he have ?

Answer 29

How about you first try to do it yourself xd

Answer 30

X =5$ bill
Y=10$ bill
X+y=25
5x+10y=230

Answer 31

Yes, that's coorrect sorry I didn't get the notification e.e

Answer 32

Macy has a total of 100 dimes and quarters. If the total value of the coins is $14.05, how
many of each type of coin does she have?

Answer 33

X= dimes
Y=quarters
X+y=100
10x+.25=14.05

Answer 34

Is that correct ?

Answer 35

for the second equation, it owuld be 0.1x+ .25x =14.05

Answer 36

Since dime is not 10 dollars, it's a tenth xd
